AMAZING! GOOD PUZZLES GREAT AUDIO, ok but really that game truly did stretch my 3 celled brain!

Great music and audio! The puzzles were fun, and I liked how every new mechanic had a level where it showcased how to use it before giving us anything hard. Well done!

Really fantastic game!

The level design is very well thought out. I love the "show, don't tell" that you've implemented throughout the levels, and the difficulty strikes a perfect balance of struggle and success.
The music is an absolute bop, and the graphics are wonderfully nostalgic.

Thanks for making this; I had a great deal of fun.

Was worried I'd end up in a situation where I know what to do but just can't do it fast enough but was glad that didn't really happen. Liked gradual introduction of new mechanics.

This game is awesome! At first I was confused because the Z key is looks like a O in the menu, but once I got past that I absolutely loved this game. The puzzles were great and its such a clever use of the them. I also love the vibe and the art! Great job

Wau, really good puzzle game. I really liked that you had tutorial level and next level used mechanic from that tutorial level. Each new mechanic was introduced with tutorial level. The correct way to introduce game mechanics.

320 steps with one death.

Haha it was so cute ! well done, i had fun !

264 seconds! Is it good?
Took me a while to start it though, I could not make out what key I had to press.. basically tried my full keyboard and something worked!
Liked how the game taught me the new mechanics organically, good job on that!

Nice game page design! Haha it took me a little while to figure out I can push the box :) So my only nit is to explain that and that the button only works with boxes!

Music and art is fitting!

Congrats on finishing the polished game! I wish there were more levels!

Puzzle games make me crasy but this time i won against the maze :thumbsup:


137s! But I played a few of the levels yesterday, so it does not count :)
Great game, very good polish, all actions have sounds to them, nice music.
Very impressive! Would have loved a few more levels!

OK. This is not my type of game, but. Sometimes great gamedesign just smacks you in the face. I think you did a great job of introducing new mechanics at a great pace, the puzzels where the right amount of difficult for me. You made me feel smart. The game was just long enought for a gamejam game aswell. Perfect in most every way. I loved this game and have given the link to my friends. Wow. Thank you for making it.

Nice and simple, and with sound, AND with music! (it's too rare in Ludum Dare!)

This was fun and this fits the theme well, good job!
( I played until the end )

The highlight of this game is the masterful pacing in level design. New things were neatly taught to me and never I felt overwhelmed by any of the levels.

Well done!

How has HOBI4D not posted here lol, they post on every good game or comment strip!

awesome game!

Great level design & I think it's wonderful how you introduce the new mechanics on their own mini-level. Feels very complete despite the low level count, but it's a 48 hour jam so I'm not sure I can expect more :wink:

If there was a level design rating category, I'd give you 5 stars there :clap:

Neat puzzle mechanic with good tutorial like level structure!

I really liked to play this entry :D

Awesome progression and level design, a great example of teaching mechanics without words. However, I will admit, I was stuck on the title screen for longer than I'd like to admit because I couldn't tell what button I was supposed to press to start...

Last puzzle was pretty hard and took me like 20 tries. Overall a very nice and solid entry that executed well on what it set out to do, not much else to say.

@a327ex Same I didn't even realize it was the last puzzle until I got the completion screen XD!

257 Seconds, 595 Steps, 17 Deaths. Main menu was really really really cool

good game! the way mechanics were introduced made it very intuitive and enjoyable to solve the puzzles

Puzzles were well thought out, still itching for more.

Very fun! I especially loved the puzzles where you had to move a block to unleash the water and move faster than it to the exit. The gameplay was compelling and the aesthetics were great. Really great job!

Press 0 to start? Nothing happens! Can't start the game! I pressed 0, O, space, shift, ctrl, enter... nothing happens.

@oznarox You have to tap Z or X (not sure which actually)

Great little game! I played through a couple times to get this score which I feel like is pretty good :)


Beautiful pixel art graphics and really impressive scope with the audio and graphics for a compo entry. Awesome Job!
It did have me hungering for harder puzzles by the end of it though. Overall it felt very polished and was a great bite-sized experience perfect for Ludum Dare

although one small note - I think you put the wrong link for the source code, it looks like it's just a link to a png image

Yo a pico-8 game! Didn't think I'd see one of those. It was really enjoyable and a good take on the theme. Good job and congratulations!

Great game, one of my favourites so far! Really good art and music, the core idea is strong and well expanded upon with each new level. My only complaint would be that there's not enough levels (or not enough hard levels). I'm really not playing puzzle games usually and I still found it pretty easy. One more involved level before introducing a new concept would make it a perfect jam entry for me!

Loved this one! The mechanic goes well with the sokoban type of game, and puzzles are clever. Really enjoy the 8-bit style as well. GG!

Amazing game! Although the mechanic and level design wasn't much unique nor eye-popping, but you actually make the game a whole! The gaming experience is stylized, mature and integrated enough to make the game shines like gold. :smirk:

wish it was longer

Neat little game! The polish was amazing and added just the right amount of charm!

Such a fun cute little game! Puzzles were bit easy for me but the use the theme is very strong! Music was banging too :smile:

I really liked the tile transition effects, really cool. I felt while the water mechanic added some interesting locality to the kind of "step constraint" thing, the tightness of the constraint felt kind of limiting. I guess it might just be me liking puzzles that can have a few paths to the goal, but otherwise it was really cool.

Awesome puzzle! One of the best theme usage with a very good implementation

Best game I've tried so far! Really slick execution here

Fun and cool game idea. Execution is superb. Well done!

Very cool and fun to play game! Even I was terrible and it took me 515 seconds and 454 steps and died 12 times.

Great theme, cool little puzzle game!

Impressive implementation and attention to detail!

Very solid entry! You do a great job of introducing new element without the flood complicating things!

The hardest part of this game was to solve which button to press to start the game :') The level design was good and the levels were just challenging enough, could've played longer

Short and sweet game, very interesting mechanic and fun levels .The only gripe was with how difficult it was to know which button you had to press to play.

Cool concept! I found the levels in total to be a bit easy but very enjoyable! Bonus points for using the PICO8!

Amazing game, wonderful music, sweet grapgics! I liked to runn away from waterXD Coplex and thoughtful level design. The only thing I would recomend - to add enemies?

Great game!

Managed to reach under a minute!


Anyway, very nice game! It was a pretty unique twist on a sokoban, and you managed to make an impressive amount of mechanics and levels for the time limit. The levels were a bit on the easy side, but the final one still gave me some trouble, so it was fine. I also liked the music and graphics. Some sort of display for when will the water move and when will it not would've helped, but other than that, great entry!

Really nice game! the game it self is small but the puzzles are interesting, and the music fits well.

Cool game! The water space limit is the one I love the most! Short game but nice and relaxing!

Very cute & fun game! The water mechanic is interesting and creates some nice puzzles possibilities. Graphics are well made, and music is great. I feel like it lacks some harder levels toward the end, as most of them are pretty straightfoward.

Good job!

AMAZING!

Very polished and nice puzzle game :)

Another great puzzle game in which you go "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE... oh"

I did pretty good once I got the hang of it. 233 seconds, 330 steps, died 7 times. That "died 7 times" part was because I didn't realize you could push the box to block the water on the first level. Once I got the hang of that, I was ok. My friend developed a similar game in PICO-8 called Mushroom Mountain, so I was used to the mechanics.

Very polished puzzle game, feels like a full game. Great work!

this is such a satisfying little puzzler! the way the mechanics are introduced on a "safe" level where you can't die was really player-friendly, and each level is very satisfying.​ (i still died a lot though!)

[Screenshot 2023-10-04 091848.png](///raw/2f4/d4/z/5f763.png)

was really cool and satisfying the music was kinda awesome, good decent graphics
the last level i swear i did it same way like 20 times and then suddenly it worked ? .. i mustve been wasting a move or something??

Pretty fun and puzzling, made you use your brain a bit when starting

Very good concept that is simple but well executed. Good pacing and puzzle design as well

Really nice! great music, great art.
Would love a bit more levels, but that's always expected in a jam.


It's clever how to have level just to explain a new mechanic that you are going to add on next levels.
I love the 8x8 pixel art style it works well with this turn based puzzle game.

Very nice game :)


I love these kinds of puzzle games, they are so nostalgic! Simple concept executed beautifully!

Nice game, had some fun puzzles.
Found myself needing to try be quick but also not having enouch time to survey what needed to be moved before it was too late, so first look at a level was never really a chance.
Good game though, nice one

Fun game! I played through it a few times, this was my best attempt: 


I took a little to get the controls lol, it was a quite fun game tho, and the pixel art was very charming

Cute puzzle! I liked the 2 steps = 1 water expand mechanic. Especially the levels where you cannot really block the water, just be fast enough. I think this mechanic can hold up more levels, and I'd be happy to see more of these!

A nice and functional little puzzler. The audio is catchy and graphics look clean. It's not a very innovative but a solid entry nonetheless! I managed finish it, could have used some more challenging levels and a couple of more features :).

Nice level design and good job!

Excellent game! Good puzzles and fun Idea! :smiley:

Cute and clever puzzle game, the water flowing concept is quite innovating ! Good job !

I liked it! The water mechanic took me a second but when it clicked I was happily surprised! Thanks!

352 steps and 5 deaths were enough to make it!

Very well done and thank you for the experience!

297 seconds, 512 steps, 17 deaths
Bravo, some really fun puzzles in this one, and the music was great!

Nice job! this is a fun little puzzle game!

you obviously know what you're doing! good stuff - perfectly scoped and executed jam game - well done!

Very well done game. Graphics are really good and it was nice being able to learn the new features in waterless levels so I was free to fiddle around and decide what it was supposed to do.

Echoing a lot of other comments. Great fun, neat mechanics and great pacing.

My only comment is that it took me an embarrassingly long time (until the final level) to realize that the game was actually tun based. I was running around like a madman clearing levels because I thought it was time based and I needed to move fast. I think the last level required exact movement, so once I realized I could go at my own pace it changed the game. Maybe make that more apparent somehow? Or maybe it was written somewhere and I'm just a moron?


Nice short sokoban game! I can feel the limited space here which is common theme for any sokoban games but the flood makes it even more limited.

Great game with fun puzzles. The mechanics are simple to understand but in combination they create some fun and tricky puzzles. I also appreciate the level design slowly introducing each mechanic and easing you into the gameplay. Nice work!

Fantastic! It feels really innovative to have such a sense of danger and immediacy in a puzzle game like this, the water moves so quick so you have to be very precise! My one critique would be the graphics and the level readability - making the door and the box the same shade makes my brain have to do a little bit extra work to parse what I need to achieve

Amazing! Took a minute to realise what I could move etc, though I think the graphics are just about as indicative as that can be at that size. Really really fun game and great music :D

A very clever mechanic introduced to sokoban! And pico-8 games always got me.

Even though it's pixel art, it conveys a lot, such a great design!
Moreover, the intricate level design makes it very entertaining even with simple rules! I also love that it progresses step by step before getting to the main gameplay.

It's very thoughtful and appreciated :)

Awesome game here!

I have a feeling this is the prototype to some full project! Really hoping we can see more of this one.

This was great! The water mechanic worked great within a sokoban structure. The art and music were great as well. Really good entry, I loved it!

This was more of a "limited steps" but, still a very well made sokoban variation, nice job!

Great entry! Good puzzle design and nice audio and visuals. Great job!

Simply amazing. Great concept and amazing look and feel. Also the way you introduced new mechanics in a level without pressure makes for a very intuitive and not frustrating experience.

"I thoroughly enjoyed all the puzzles. However, at the beginning, I was a bit uncertain about which key to press to start. The screen seemed to suggest the letter 'O' or the number zero, but neither seemed to work. After some trial and error, it appeared to be 'Z' or 'X'? I wasn't completely sure. Nonetheless, the game was nicely done!

A more challenging take on Sokoban. Not only do you have to push boxes and get to the exit, you also have to go against the floodwater.

Neat little puzzle game! I got 153 seconds first try, didn't even know I was being timed :)


Cool sokoban game! You made a great job of introducing the mechanics and everything feels very polished. I just wish the game was a bit longer!

@technonugget Not sure if someone told you yet but Pico-8 can export the whole game as a "cartridge" png image, see [P8PNGFileFormat](https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/P8PNGFileFormat)

Nice sokoban game! I think you did a fantastic job with the introduction of new mechanics and pacing.

very good design, like this game idea so much

I wish they were more level, but I understand it's not easy to use this flood mechanic properly for leveldesign. Maybe some switch to invert the waterflow ? so you can dry up some area.

Amazing entry! It was so much fun and the bgm really is a banger. I just wish the game was longer.

I liked this game, a simple idea but well executed. More levels would be amazing, but ok for a compo game.

Great puzzle game! I always had a strange fetish (I know I know...) about rising water in enclosed spaces. If the boxes take a certain number of steps before being broken through by water, that would add more intense vibe to the game.

Loved it! The mechanics, and also the music

Very nice game, simple mechanics, very clear and understandable levels. I would love more levels :)

Good game! It was a bit confusing at the first level, I didn't know I could push the box, but afterwards it was a very good experience! Nice little puzzles and fun mechanics!

Nice floodfill algorithm and twist on the Sokoban puzzle :) Well done, fellow Pico8 developer :D

Nice simple puzzle game, I think you did a good job introducing the different puzzle mechanics, though I'd like to see a bit more difficult puzzles. The art was very well done.

A well thought out puzzle with some twist on Sokoban. I enjoyed all levels. The first level was not a bit confusing but managed to figure out the box could be pushed. I just hope there were more levels and some levels had a little bit more complexity. Overall a great puzzle and well polished!

Very good, although I'm not good at puzzles I got this far, but then I got stuck on a level. I really liked the puzzles. Cool music, cool graphics too. Good job

Great little puzzle game! The puzzles were challenging but not too difficult. Great job overall.

Short and sweet! Real enjoyable premise, I liked it!

Loved this little puzzle and great music. Cool take on the theme, nice to see other puzzle games in this LD. I did a similar thing of flooding a small puzzle level, used flowers roots instead water.

Really lovely puzzle game! The mechanics were well introduced and the puzzle designs were great. I'd love to play more :D

Very polished and clever. Cute pixelart, nice sound design and a fun interesting puzzle game. I like the fact you didn't hold my hand with every new mechanic, let the players explore and figure it out.

The only little nit I have is the main menu, took a while for me to figure out I had to press C, damn font..

Grats on a nice jam!

Great game design :) I had a great time playing the game thanks!

Short but very fun puzzle game! I liked the level design a lot

Yeah made it through! Awesome game, wish there would be more levels! great job!

Super nice game ! Loved the concept, the pixelart is cute and well done, the music as well, and theme pretty well implemented (especially since you did it on pico-8 lol). Nice level design as well. Very nice !
